Is ATF Scandal Bigger Than Watergate?

The Morning Journal reports:

While the national news media filled the universe with blather about Weinergate this past week, what you didn’t hear much about was Rep. Darrell Issa’s congressional hearing into a federal agency scheme that allowed roughly 2,000 AK-47 style semiautomatic rifles to get into the hands of Mexican drug gangs — guns that have since been linked to the murders of at least one U.S. law enforcement agent, and likely two.

Preposterous, you say? Couldn’t be true, you say? The only thing preposterous is the Obama Administration’s attempt to sweep this national tragedy under the rug, with an adoring media all too willing to look the other way. The only untruths involved are the denials and obfuscation coming from Attorney General Eric Holder, some of his aides and those in the Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) which cooked up the bizarre scheme called Operation Fast and Furious as part of the older ATF Project Gunrunner effort to keep illegal guns out of Mexico.

The Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon was rooted in a coverup of a botched burglary at a Democratic Party office.

President Bill Clinton was impeached for lying to federal investigators about his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky.

A petty burglary and a presidential lie about a woman are nothing compared to the murders of two U.S. agents, and who knows how many Mexican citizens. No coverups can be tolerated in this catastrophic scheme run by the Obama Administration’s ATF.

The story that's not on NYT front page until it has to be.
